Your lucky you got it today, but at the same time, try not to take a shot in front of an fixed object next time.

Yes, what Sherman said. Spend the extra few seconds making sure there's nothing in your shot, or getting closer to the bus, and you'll be thanking yourself in the future!

should be.

i've seen all white can-ar #1609(?) doing the Haliburton via Lindsay line-haul lately.

This one was sitting in a parking lot near Vaughan Mills, arrived signed up Haliburton. The driver must have went to get some lunch nearby or something...

I may have seen an old Rek-Vee club car today. It was in one of the scrap yards on Queen St W in Port Credit, just west of Mississauga Rd. I saw it from the GO train I was riding on. Unfortunately my digital camera focused on the raindrops on the window and not on the scrap yard. ;)

Of course, it may have been an old camper. Does anyone live in the area, who could go check it out?

Here it is in Google Maps, I think it is an old camper

Spotted an Ex-GO at Vaughan Mills Mall today belonging to Elliott Lake Bob Cats. It still had the green colour on the roof line above the windows, still had the GO sticker on the front but it was simply whited out and had the fleet number 1446 in the same GO font and located in the same spots on the front of the bus, the two top corners beside the destination sign (not sure if this was still the GO transit fleet number or not).

The ex-GO Prevost sitting near the Barrie Line rail near Highway 7 is still there at last check. Been trying to see if I can quickly spot the fleet number on it.

1605, the one up for sale by Can-ar. The photos on the e-Bay listing were taken with it there.

That bus sure gets around, I see it almost every sunday

A list of ex-GO 102A3 dispositions. Figuring out which is which ex-GO unit is a whole different matter:

<Various Hotels> 47, 48, 56, 57, 58

Star Coach Lines 4942, 4943, 1503

McCoy Bus Service 401, 402, 403, 404, 405

*two 102A3's unaccounted for.

I suspect there is one company operating the shuttle services for the Sheraton, Embassy, Mariott Hotels and Magnificent tours. Here's what I have so far for their ex GO roster:

Embassy 47 = 102A3

Embassy 48 = 102A3

Embassy 50 = 102A2

Embassy 51 = 102A2 (ex-GO 1420)

Embassy 52 = 102A2

Magnificent 53 = 102A2

Mariott 54 = 102A2 (ex-GO 1444)

Mariott 55 = 102A2

Magnificent 56 = 102A3

Sheraton 57 = 102A3

Magnificent 58 = 102A3

McCoy 404 is ex. 1513 according to the wiki.

Another thing that would be interesting to look into are the buses sold to the New York Airport Service. They got a ton of buses from GO, but only 1 or 2 have been linked to specific GO fleet numbers.

What kind of work did they have done to them? Minus the paint job. They were not very reliable even after rebuild...i wonder if Can-air has any spares for this route? Does the same bus do a round trip everyday? What equipment was doing it before?

It must be reliable as it's the only bus i have seen do the route in a while, I saw it two times last week, once on the 401, and once going through Port Perry.
